Elgin Baylor

“We had a great rivalry with the Celtics.”

“I’m just a guy that grew up in a very tough neighborhood, a very poor neighborhood, and I looked at basketball as a way to get out.”

“I never thought about the statistics. I just wanted to win.”

“The game is a lot more physical now than it was then.”

“If you're a competitive person, you want to win.”

“You have to have a certain amount of arrogance to be a great player.”

“Coaching is something I've always wanted to do.”

“My motivation is to be the best.”

“I had some good moves. I could shoot the ball, and I could pass, and I was a good rebounder.”

“I was never afraid to take the last shot.”

“I just did my thing. I just played my game.”

“It's a business. You've got to treat it like a business.”

“I've always been a private person.”

“Being an executive is a totally different world.”
